ex-catholic jack abbot is real to me i'm ngl. sometimes he still does a midnight mass with dana and her family if he's got the night off and is invited. not setting foot in a church any other time of the year tho
it is a quiet but serious need for fanart to stop depicting jack wear his old dog tags as a sexy fun thing because it's not, and canonically we never see any indication that he still wears them or that he even holds them as important personal objects
Im going to need people to stop doing their character analyses while Ignoring the context that they exist in... like these characters don't exist in a vacuum, they are molded by their environment, upbringing, experiences (direct, and mental— ie mental illness)
